This event took place on Nov. 5 and three winners were named. Layla Cloudy landed first place after performing a solo dance to the song “You’re so Pretty.” Liberty Trupke placed second for her rendition of “I Got a New One” by Elizabeth Nicholas, both strumming the melody on her guitar and singing live. Levi Strother took third with his edition of “Stand by me” by Ben E. King.“I felt accomplished because I made my dance by myself and performed it on stage,” Cloudy said. “My favorite part of the talent show was cheering and watching my friends.”Cloudy practiced her dance once every week in preparation for her solo and has had experience with dance since she was only 3 years old. Despite her initial nerves, Cloudy was able to perform, stating that the overall hardest part of being on stage was remembering her routine.“There’s no judgment,” Cloudy said. “It’s all for fun.” Trupke spent months rehearsing her song on her guitar, altering and perfecting her talent daily on the weeks leading up to the talent show. She has experience with performing in front of crowds and has been involved in musical arts for a rather large portion of her life.“I’ve been singing my whole life but only started playing guitar my freshman year,” Trupke said. “As someone who is completely self-taught, there were moments where I felt like quitting but I’m so glad I didn’t. Finally learning how to play a strumming pattern or play a certain chord is one of the most rewarding feelings.”Strother only had two days to practice his solo of “Stand by Me” due to the fact his original song wasn’t available for use. Despite this, he practiced using any time he had, listening to the audio of his solo leading up to the show, as well as dedicating available school hours to rehearse on-stage. Strother also encourages others to try out for the next talent show, claiming it to be a fun experience to be a part of.“I’d like to thank my choir director, Mrs. Teaugue, for bringing Bears Got Talent to LCMHS,” Strother said. “It’s been such a fun experience, showcasing all of our talents together.”Many benefited from the talent show, giving students an opportunity to show off and even boosting their confidence both on and off stage. Some students reported feeling much more accomplished in their creativity and hard work when receiving their recognition and participating in the show gave students a space to recognize their capabilities.“I learned to be confident in what I do,” Trupke said. “I love singing and playing my guitar and the talent show showed me that other people enjoy what I can do as well.”</div></body>
